Although that is a great price you have to make a lot of connections. I for one don’t like that many connections one connection is my maximum. However, if price is really an issue then I could see where people would do this.
I think this fare is more about the EQDs/EQMs you can get on AA AAdvantage for those chasing ExPlat status.
That is true if you are near to achieving EP and need close to 10,000 EQM, that would definitely be a big boost. It is unfortunate that some people may fly a lot but unless you are doing longer trips, just flying often is not enough to get you you to EP. Oh, what some people will do to get those miles.
It’s 35k EQMs!!! You made me look back at the numbers and my initial estimate was wrong! (corrected on the article!)
I was wondering, I did think to myself afterward that it sounded low. Because the EQM are the actual miles flown and bonuses on top of that. It would seem that just one way to Japan would probably be about 6500 plus bonus miles depending upon what your current status is. Then with all of the additional stops your second estimate sounds more in range. However, do want to point out for the million miler balance, it would be a much lower amount since it is only the exact miles flown and no bonuses. With the way the program is now it will take some people forever to get to lifetime status.
